Pastel vs. Neon: The Duel of the Hues

(Source: Vogue.com, Style.com)

Pastels and neons have taken magazines, blogs, lookbooks and shelves by storm. It is nearly impossible not to spot a trace of either of the two trends. Soft vs. sharp. Fluorescent vs. feminine. Bright vs. light. The two color categories draw so many differences in their appearance, yet so many similarities in their appeal. Pastels and neons can be spotted on the runway, in the streets and on some of the most influential style icons and fashion bloggers. Since both trends insist on remaining relevant, prevalent and fresh, the battle must go on. The products are endless, but the decisions are limited. Pastel or neon: which will you chose? I suppose you could wear both, just maybe not together.
